Brown Thomas D & Associates - Elgin's Professional Landscapers

We address tree root damage with a multi-step approach tailored to Elgin's soil. First, we carefully prune problematic surface roots to prevent future upheaval. Then, we repair the damaged lawn area by leveling the soil, amending it for better drainage and health, and re-sodding or seeding with grass varieties suited to our local climate. Our goal is to restore a smooth, healthy lawn while preserving the health of your valuable trees.

For lasting results in Elgin, we recommend and install heavy-duty, permanent edging materials like steel or commercial-grade polymer. These materials resist shifting from our soil's expansion and contraction, prevent grass and root invasion from adjacent beds, and maintain a crisp border for years. We properly install them at the correct depth to create a durable barrier that solves common edging failure issues.

Absolutely. As part of our installation process for new edging, patios, or walkways, we assess nearby tree root systems. We use strategic root barriers installed vertically during the project to deflect roots downward, away from your new investment. This proactive, expert step is crucial in Elgin to protect your landscaping from future root-related damage and costly repairs.
